Finding Your Soulmate

Everybody has a soulmate… right?
At least that’s what we’re told from the day we can process information. If it’s not our parents telling us, it’s society, or commercials, movies, and media filling our heads with the nonsense. Even childhood fairy tales prepare us for a life of constant striving for Mr. or Mrs. Right. That whole knight in shining armor thing that so many people nowadays truly believe in comes from silly bedtime stories meant to keep kids in line. Too many people simply assume that no work is required for true love; fate and destiny will handle everything for you.
Well, if the sight of lonely old spinsters trudging down grocery store aisles pushing shopping carts brimming with discount cat food cans isn’t proof enough that a dirty trick has been played on all of us, perhaps your own futile search for a soulmate ending in despair’ll do it. Seriously, folks: you know by now that the good guys don’t always win, that Robin Williams is completely unfunny and sad, and that all other cinema tropes have no basis in reality. Feel free to sit around, reading dime store romance novels and watching your “stories” every afternoon, while the rest of us get outside and look for love. Ladies, the dashing Count Fernando Montecruz will not, I regret to inform you, be visiting anytime soon to ask for your hand in marriage, and Men, you will most likely not be seduced into marriage by the hotheaded young Brazilian model in the near future.
But that doesn’t mean all is lost. It just means that our common notion of the soulmate is completely unrealistic and actually preventing us from exploring the correct avenues. Mates of the soul do exist; in fact, it’s possible you could have already met yours. They’re not some mythical creation of your destiny marked from birth, though. Instead, your soulmate is quite simply someone who gets you. Someone who laughs when you laugh, with whom you can spend a day doing absolutely nothing and somehow still feel you’ve accomplished something great. You can have more than one soulmate. Out of the many billions of people on this planet, at least a few have to fit the bill.
Chances are, though, you have already met your soulmate. Possibly in college, or even earlier. Your youth was character development time. You may have found religion, or a political voice, or your career, but most importantly - you found yourself. Everybody else was making the same discoveries all around you and having intensely deep conversations about life, the universe, and everything. Kids on the brink of adulthood, inflamed by words and new experiences, discovering love - or what felt like it. Here, your future self was forged. A trail, however meandering, was blazed. No matter what we chalk up to the follies of youth, that time was real and effective in laying the foundation for our adult selves.
What’s all this have to do with finding a soulmate? I guess what I’m trying to say is that instead of looking to some fairy tale future; we should look to our past. Your old college lover - sure, you guys may have drifted apart during summer break, but those all-night conversations were very real. Our youth is a whirlwind time, and it’s tough to focus on personal relationships.
Things have probably slowed down by now, though. Wouldn’t you like to recapture that feeling of young, budding love? Don’t you feel, deep down, like the same wide-eyed freshman who thrust themselves into campus politics and young love? Chances are so do they, and it’s easier than ever to find them. Gone are the days of going back to the dusty town of your youth to search through courthouse public records in order to pick up the trail of your first love. All you have to do is go to Public Records Now run a people search, pick your search subject from the results, pay as little as $2.95 and have their current address, phone number, relative’s names and much more all within a matter of minutes.
Don’t wait any longer: Find them now!
